    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    I'll be down as long as we get some decent weather!! Work is pretty busy and I'm hoping to join my uncle for Sunday rides, but if we can get a Saturday at some point I'll try. I'm from Yonkers.

    How to tighten loose mirror???

    Haha. I was in the same bought..bought my blast about a month ago. Here's how I "noob'ed" it :) I loosened one just a tad to adjust it to my preference and took forever to get it to stay tight. If you pull up the rubber covering at the base (My mirrors are not at handle-side), there are 2...

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    Thanks for the advice. I've pretty much been doing that, trying to imitate a "heel & toe" method on a car to prevent the bike from rolling back. I live in a very hilly area, so I'll have plenty of practice :)

    Any one in nyc AREA

    I'm pretty close. Yonkers here. I'd be down for a ride, but I need to get my full license first. I've got the permit and will be taking the MSF course in a few weeks.

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    Thank you guys so much! It was that easy! Bike runs like a champ! Got a good 2 solid hours of practice in today on some back roads. I'm still getting used to working the clutch while on an incline, as well as trying to get the bike into neutral. It seems like a lot of times a gentle push...

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    It seems like the carb had been pushed out of the boot. I've put it back in and tightened the ring clamps back onto it. I have to wait until tomorrow to test it, since we a bit of a storm here in NY. I'm hoping it's that easy. :p The suspense!

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    Based on what I've been researching, especially with topics on this site and badweb, it seems like it will probably be an issue with the boot. I will see if I can take it apart myself in the next few days to check. If this does need replacing, where can I purchase an affordable replacement? I...

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    Thanks. I've been googling for the last hour to figure out what a boot is. I think I figured it out :). My uncle will be coming down in about a week to show me how to take the Blast apart and how to clean it. I've done a lot with electronics/computers, but never worked on a bike before...

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    Thank you for the advice. It's been raining for a while here in NY. I've put in some fresh gas and some carb cleaner / octane booster additives. Once the rain stops I'm going to try and get this thing running again and get the new fuel running through the engine. I've have to inspect the...

    Used Blast - Starting Issues

    Hey guys. I just picked up my first bike, a Blast, yesterday. When we picked up the bike, the original owner had started it up, but forgot to switch the fuel valve on. The bike has been having starting issues ever since. My uncle got the bike working yesterday, with some tweaking/cleaning...
